Lieberman’s $100K "offer" to Senate Dems to keep his chairmanships

By GottaLaff

Come on, who does he think he's kidding? And don't make me even more nauseous than I already am at the mere mention of Lieberman's name:

Money can’t buy him love, but John McCain-backing Joe Lieberman is hoping a little cash will diffuse Democrats’ anger towards him — and help him keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Public Works Committee.

After forking over $100,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee last year, the Connecticut Democrat-turned-independent has written a second $100,000 check to DSCC Chairman Chuck Schumer in recent days, according to a people familiar with the situation.

“Basically, he doesn’t want everybody to hate him,” one Lieberman-friendly Democrat said. “Plus he wants to keep his committee.”

Plus he's panicking. Plus he deserves every bit of loathing he gets. Plus he seems to forget that everybody sees him as the Republican he's proved he is. Plus he supports McCain openly and belittles Obama regularly. Plus, despite all of that, he laughably wants to retain his posts. Plus he wants to be re-elected. Plus he wants to disguise his hypocrisy. Plus he mistakenly thinks his sniveling donations can buy him back any shred of respect he ever had. Plus it's too late, everybody already does hate him. Plus he's an even bigger baby than I had imagined.

Lieberman caucuses — awkwardly — with Democrats at their weekly meetings but is on the outs with many in his longtime party for turning his back on Barack Obama, who refused to campaign against him in 2006 during his bitter reelection contest against Ned Lamont. More than a few have talked about stripping him of his committee post after November.

Plus they should damn well strip him of his posts, since he's already stripped himself of any moral standing.

Thus Lieberman’s schmear campaign. Lieberman’s Responsibility/Opportunity/Community PAC, has given the DSCC $30,000 since last year — in addition to doling out smaller donations to the New Mexico Democratic party and the reelection campaigns of Democratic centrists Max Baucus, Mary L. Landrieu and Mark Pryor.

Plus he can't buy his way out of the hole he's dug for himself.

Plus, in honor of Paddy, f*** him.
